A SUCCESSFUL PERFORMANCE.

A Brilliant Audience Attends Mr.. Han
ley's Benef1t-Another Hit for the
Fords.
The Savannah Theatre was crowded with
brilliant audience last night, the occasion
being the benefit of Mr. Lawrence Hanley.
The play was 1.-The Danicheffs," and it was
received with interest that was fully de
served Mr. HanIey as "Osp' played better
than ever before. His work was so finished
and graceful as well as artistic,
that it surprised even those who are accus-
toned To his excellent acting. The part is a
heavy and difficult one, but Mr.. Hanley
showed the result OF hard and faithful study
by the way in which he mastered it. Some
of his scenes were artistic to the highest de
gree; and worthy of one who has spent more
years on the boards than this youthful star.
Mr.. McCabe as "Vladiinir, was thoroughly
appreciated in the part which he played
with skill and elegance. Mr.. Joe Doyle
made his most successful hit He was cast
as ''Viscount De Taldi," a Frenchman, and
his work throughout acting and accent,
was better than any he has done this year.
Miss Clara Baker as "Anna the Serf" de-
served great praise Miss Baker acted
charmingly and won the house quickly

graced a court. Miss Mollie Maeder,

A Handsome Little Book.

About ten months ago Ludden & Bates
S. NJ. H., at the repeated and earnest solicit
tation of many of their customers added to
their music and art business department
of fine stationery. This, like everything
else they have taken hold of, has developed
so largely and rapidly that they are now
able, and, in fact, have found it necessary
to publish book giving prices and showing
styles of some of the leading papers they
deal in. 1t has puzzled some of our citizens
to know how this house could make it pay
to keep such large and varied stock of fine
and artistic stationery, but when one con-
siders that their trade extends to all sections
of the South, the goods sold by this house
being sold on a small margin, and guaran-
teed in every respect, with their free de
livery system, enables out-of-town custom
ers to take advantage of the many facilities
offered to make shopping easy and profit
able. Their sample book of writing papers
will be furnished on application.

of bond, but did not fix the amount. They
also adopted u form of receipt and fixed the
price for inspection, certifying and guaran-
teeing grade at twenty-five cents a bale.

be made upon the certificates without any

From the present stand of the Sanford
Fla, City Council, concerning the closing up

at the outskirts of the town. The refusal

RIGS the depot to the southern border of the

thatthe south Florida already expends sew

CENTRAL RESUMES OPERATIONS
All Damages Fully Repaired Re-
ported Drowning OF a Savannah
Family

All Damages Fully Repaired The Re-
ported Drowning OF a Savannah
Family
The Central Railroad resumed operations
yesterday. starting out all its trains on
schedule time beginning with No. g. at $50
O'Clock last night. All the damages have
been repaired and the through trains
will run as usual II seems now that the
stopping of trains was not due so much TO
washouts on the road as to the weakening
OF the road in spots to such an extent that
it was not considered safe to run over them.
The worst of these was between Nos. 5si
and O. At that point the roadhed was
soaked, and it was feared that if train
was sent over it it would go down.
The washout at Ogeechee has been re-
palred. A strong effort was made to keep up
passenger travel by carrying the passengers
10 this point and transferring them across
the breach IN wagons. One wagon WAS sent
across, but that was considered dangerous
and abandoned, but that gap has now been
closed A force was gathered there as soon
as the track gave way and kept on hand
during the high water to be ready for work
as soon as the flood subsidized. The water
went down early yesterday morning and
the force was started to work at once.
General Manager Belknap telegraphed
yesterday that he hoped TO be ready for
trains this morning, but only a short while
after that he wired an order to
start them last night, and in ac-
coreiance with bis order No. 3
and the subsequent trains went out.
There were a number of spots along the
road that Were thought to be unsafe, but
they were tried and either found to be all
right or put in safe condition, so the line is
now ready for its regular business.
Ihere was rumor yesterday morning
that MIR. Henry Sanders of Savannah, and
his whole family had been drowned at the
Ogeechee washout. Mr. Philip Sanders,
his brother, telegraphed to H. Korwisch, OF
Atlanta, his brother-in-law, and asked if he
had heard anything of Henry Sanders.
Mr.. Korwisch replied that Henry Sanders
had telegraphed from Chattanooga last
week that he would be in Atlanta last Sat
urday, but nothing had been heard from
him. This was taken as confirmation of the
rumor, but about 6 O'Clock last night Cen
trail railroad clerk sought Philip Sanders
with message that Henry and his family
were all right and would be in Savannah
this morning,

THE AUGUST PILOT CHART.
The News tho Ocean Gives Up-Eur-
ricanes Predicted for this Month.


The August issue of the Pilot Chart of
the North Atlantic covering the month of
July, is quite interesting 1t shows that the
fog belt reaches as far south as the 10th
parallel. The excessively warm weather
of the past month was accompanied with
more than the average amount Of foggy
weather, which has interfered with the
| fisheries as well as all other
branches of navigation. 1t says that the
mackerel catch continued light. The total
amount of salt mackerel landed by the
| New England feet up to the last week of
the month was q ,965 barrels, against ID, lS3
barrels TO the corresponding date last season.
| The catch of both seasons, it says, was much
below the average
1t says that August is pre-emineDtly the
hurricane month. Several tracks are
plotted out on the chart to indicate in a
| likely to follow The weather
forecasts for this month on the Atlantic
coast will be fair, and exceptionally fine
weather mays be expected. The principal
danger, most especially in low ATTITUDES,
will be from West Indian hurricanes. These
most dangerous of all storms do not move
like the ordinary winter storm from west to
east, but first sweep along the Span
| lsh main to the westward so
that the earliest warnings is
when they actually strike the Gulf coast on
| the Atlantic seaboard Their coming, how
ever, will eventually be known several days
| earlier than at present by means of the tele
graph cable which stretches through the
West Indies and along the Windward
| Islands
The chart gives the location, when last
seen, of numerous derelictS and wrecks all
| over the Atlantic, the most dangerous be-
ing those near the coast, between this port
| and Boston. There were but few lcebergs
| reported during the month. The several
water spouts observed in this vicinity are
not given.

THE VEGETABLE CROP.

The Effect of the Rain-The Condition
of the Truck Farms.
Some fear has been entertained that the
heavy rains might damage the vegetables
growing in this vicinity, but they have not
done so. On the contrary, the truck farms
are now in excellent condition. They have
had all the rain they need and can do very
we'll without any more for some time, but
they were beginning to get dry before the
rain set in. The Springfield plantations and
the truck farms between them and the
river now have fine prospects of a rich re-

dition. Those on the other side Of the city
are doing equally well, and unless the rains
